He was born in Bristol, RI, and graduated from Mount Assumption Institute, Clinton Community College and Plattsburgh State. Glue worked at New York Telephone, and retired from Verizon in 2010.

Glue had a very wonderful, wacky sense of humor and loved to do impressions of anything that struck his fancy. Once, while in Washington D.C., he noticed a Mr. Wu vendor; after that he would tell jokes such as: Baseball has it all wrong, a man with 4 balls cannot walk.
